There is no safe distance from psychopaths, but try to maintain a 3,kilometre buffer zone.

Shut down Facebook and under no circumstances have any further contact. If she shows up, call the police. Don't be too worried about her devastation — she may get over you faster than you think. Do it before you even finish reading this column.

Don't stop to entertain doubts or self-justifications. But she'll be devastated! Let her be devastated. As Andrew points out, you're more fantasy than fact to this lady. Your online presence has provided her plenty of virtual succour while her real-world relationship was going to hell, but the more time you spend with her, on and off the Net, the more dependent she'll become.

Can an online relationship be happy and fulfilling?

Whatever it is that's causing this burning question to rise to the top - it's not going away. So you have to figure out if this skepticism is permanent, or just a phase. Relationships have rough patches all the time. In fact, I call them "growing pains. So, trust me when I say: Alas, the question remains: When is it actually time to end a relationship?

When is a rough patch no longer a rough patch, but a pattern? Here is how you know when it's time to end a relationship: You don't like yourself in the relationship You know how colors look differently when lined up next to each other?

Your blue eyes POP when you're wearing navy, turquoise, or a lovely shade of purple. But then you choose a comfy brown sweater over your gem toned top, and your blue eyes transform to a dull gray. And when paired with white? Your baby blues have all but disappeared. The same happens with people. People can complement our personalities in vastly different ways. You even kiss people on the cheek as they exit the front door!

So bold of you! Love the confidence, girlfriend. She was sassy without the charm. Undeniably insecure and ready to pounce on anyone who dented her ego.

Because the reality of life is, other then ourselves, our romantic partners have the most influence over these different shades of our personality.

It happens all the time. So you MUST be honest with yourself when you ask, do you like yourself in this relationship? Have you been introduced to a dazzling, confident, and kind version of yourself that you adore, or are you regressing back to poor habits and immature tendencies? We all have flaws. We all have demons. It's not that we want to completely erase them - but we don't want to highlight them, either. And if our partner consistently brings out the worst in us, it's going to be hard to thoroughly enjoy yourself, or the relationship.

I want to make one thing exceptionally clear: Your partner most likely cannot help how their personality complements yours.

But regardless - you deserve to be in a relationship where you feel like a better person for it. There isn't perceived equity in effort Do you feel like you're carrying the relationship? Are you the one always reaching out? You must be exhausted.

People share and receive love in different ways. Your relationship does not need to be quid pro quo down the line. But if you don't perceive that the relationship is equal - that is a massive problem. But when you're in a relationship, you make time for it, period.

Otherwise you guys can just date and casually enjoy each other's company while you keep on living your life. Relationships require effort and commitment. So if you're not perceiving either - then what's the point? You deserve to be courted just as much as you should be expected to court.

You get their kisses. You get their compliments. You get their affection. You are the chosen partner, and they are yours. Not feeling loved has got to be one of the worst feelings EVER.

Yes, I am all for self-love and completely encourage women to love themselves so much that it doesn't matter what other people think. But subjecting ourselves to feeling not loved on a daily basis just sounds like misery-poop stew. That's a hard pass from me. And it should be for you, too.

Look, life is hard. You are going to have days when you think all of your hard work has been pointless. There will be months when you feel like absolutely nothing is going your way.

I promise you, it will happen. So in those moments, the last thing you want is a partner who doesn't help build you back up. It's hard convincing ourselves of our worth - we don't need the duty of convincing our partner, too.
